A prophet, the last hunter of mankind, and the last sage.

Orpheus.

“I don’t know why you came all the way here, but it seems like there’s something you really want to talk about.”

taboo.

When I thought about what might have happened, I saw that they had not left their area for several days.

However, Orpheus seemed to move freely from place to place.

Sometimes to the Evil God Church, sometimes to the Heavenly God Church, and sometimes to the Kingdom of Ask.

From what I heard here and there, he was saying that there were no restrictions on such areas.

At least there were no territorial restrictions in the ban on him, or he came out himself.

“Kkekekeul, if it were your ability, you could have seen through the universe and even stimulated something beyond the horizon, but you gave it all up out of foolish pity or pity. What a pity.”

“I don’t know what else you came here to say.”

There was no need to use his abilities on him.

Because the person in front of me right now was not really him, but was just a fake, his incarnation or alter ego.

Rather than trying to provoke him, I decided to just listen to his words and warnings.

At least, rather than openly opposing us, he mocked and spoke sarcastically while also leaking important information.

“Evil God, the time has come. If you regain your ancient abilities, you will be able to decide whether to end the era or continue it. At the end, you will make the same choice as before. Your ideal “I hope you don’t get eaten by these emotions, you evil spirit, you evil spirit. Please let your glory come to an end.”

Since you said that in a very serious tone, it kind of reminds me of what I was thinking earlier.

This time, I thought he was going to say something sarcastic and curse-like, but he gave some serious advice and disappeared.

I can’t understand anything about ancient races.

I don’t even know why they only unsealed these guys in the first place.

If it was hostility toward me, I would have definitely released the seal on those who hate me. If you have your own faith like my followers, you can either not release the seal at all, pray to me, or only select those who will destroy the world, and act as you please. I must have made it.

So, I couldn’t understand why they were forced to crawl out here after being banned like this.

“And this pendant.”

Damian, the hallow of the evil god.

It was a holy relic that could use abilities optimized to lead the world to destruction, and Lucia later said that it would not be long before she would use it.

Why should I use this?

I’m not even Damian.

“…Let’s go to the next ancient race.”

This person is in a dark and damp place under the ground that no one knows about.

I was able to hear information about him from Lilin.

“A long time ago, the master, the first priest, the Pope, Descartes, is in the ground.”

Descartes.

The longest-serving owner.

The first priest and the last pope of ancient times.

“12 people, guardians, protect, by his side.”

There are 12 guardians guarding him…

The first priest and the last pope.

I don’t know what religion he might have been, but considering that it came from ancient times, at least… a folk religion? Isn’t it something like that?

I guess I just trusted the beast…

“I think it would be a good idea to go there first.”

Down there.

I trace the path to that energy and find the entrance…huh?

It’s the ruins we went to before, over there.

“…It’s a historic site…”

It was pretty weird there too.

Who would have thought that we would find a photo of someone who looked exactly like Abel?

It was a photo of Abel and Veronica sitting together, but they clearly said it wasn’t them.

“I never thought I would come back here again.”

This time I came alone.

As an ancient race, there was something ominous about improving the abilities of children here.

Isn’t it strange?

The ruins we have already come to, the ancient race in the temple of the evil religion, and the Pope.

Since ancient times, the only pope of the evil religion has been an evil god.

“…I guess I should take a look and see who it is.”

I should have seen that face at least once.

There is a high probability that the photo was created based on the prophet’s memory.

If so, how did they leave such a photo?

I had to find out everything one by one.

And, I had a hunch that there was a high probability that Descartes, the Pope, was related to that photo.

“…Okay, it’s nice that I’m the only one here.”

As expected, I liked coming here alone.

I slowly went down again.

As I went down step by step, I felt that the energy was getting closer and closer to me.

Eventually, I reached the front of the temple.

An undead wearing a crown, a necklace around his neck, and a ring on each finger slowly walked out, rattling his bones.

“Nice to meet you, father. My name is Descartes, the Pope’s representative.”

“…delegate?”

“The Pope of the evil religion cannot exist outside of the Father, and as a saint, I am only acting on behalf of the Father until the Father comes down.”

father.

It was the same way Abel and Veronica called me.

Is that what everyone calls saints, saints, and children of God?

“…Please come in first. We are too inexperienced and insignificant to welcome the Pope, but since our father has come to visit us in person, we will prepare so that we too can rest comfortably.”

What should I call him?

Descartes.

A saint from the past, a representative rather than the Pope, and a man with the appearance of a skeleton.

It is hard to guess what he looked like when he was alive, but judging from his skeleton and unique shape, he must have been quite a handsome man.

…maybe.

“Yes, child.”

“Probably my father erased all memories of ancient times. Even if there was a next generation of saints, it is doubtful whether he would have served my father well, but as ghosts of the past are ghosts, it would be right to just watch over our future generations. ”

Descartes took on the role of a saint in an ancient race, in that distant antiquity.

Ancient races include humans, and there may be various races such as dragons and demons from the past, but Descartes’ race is hardly known.

First, think of it as undead.

“Anyway, it’s quite mysterious. I can’t believe that our descendants are already roaming around, but I’ve been released and am wandering around this place that isn’t even the Underworld. First of all, let’s prepare a meal.”

When Descartes snapped his bony fingers, the god moved vigorously and brought out various foods.

Of course, it was clear that they were creatures that lived underground, but… no, what is dragon meat?

“There is a rare one nearby. In the past, they roamed around holding dragons, but as time goes by, they really turn into earth dragons.”

I’m turning like an earthworm.

Of course, compared to the old days, it has become weaker… What, is this delicious?

“Anyway, you handle divinity quite naturally.”

“…Ah, it was easily possible in ancient times, but the air here is quite murky…It may be that the priests of the Evil God Religion were not able to properly handle divine power.”

Yes, our children probably haven’t seen the use of divinity often.

I was curious about that and asked about it, and I was told that the power of the evil spirit was more turbid and evil than I thought and was a tyrannical power that could not be easily dealt with.

It was very difficult to see them mixed and used appropriately, except for things like Abel’s battle or Adele’s dragon breath.

“I guess it would be okay for me to go and teach them. After completing my mission as a saint, I give up my knowledge for the sake of future generations. That is the rule of the evil religion established by my father.”

“Oh, and could you tell me about the people who broke your seal?”

“Hmm… These are the people who broke the seal… Oh, you mean Petrania.”

“Isn’t there a ban on it?”

“How could a mere living being, not even a god, impose a ban on a higher being? I am God’s representative and my father’s saint. It is impossible for me to be subject to a ban on something like the devil.”

It was quite good news.

“Of course, he thought he was perfect and left after acting to a certain extent, but he ended up with prostitutes like that… I’m sorry, I made a mistake.”

Hmm, okay.

The Evil God Church doesn’t have a very good relationship with ancient demons… Wait, they have a good relationship with Lillin.

“I can see what your father is thinking. Lilin, in her case, was one of the few demons who originally belonged to the Evil God Cult. In ancient times, she cooperated with us, who had a hostile relationship with demons. At that time… Ah, Mari. “You’re going to hate this story.”

“…Do you know when Mari started to trust me?”

“Her story will be quite long. First of all, she was a high elf who stayed in the evil religion before me. If I were to tell her story, there would be no end to it, but how could she, who was pure, lose her father…”

Wait…pure?

What has happened since ancient times, Marie…

“…You can hear the other stories directly from her. Since there is a taboo tied up by my father, I think it will be difficult to bring up any more ancient matters than this.”

There was a lot of information that could be obtained, so I decided to listen to it later, and like Descartes, I returned to the evil religion.

Petrania, for what reason is she unsealing ancient races, and is she unsealing those who are related to me?

There are already two figures from the evil religion: Descartes, a saint, and Lillin, the demon of the evil religion.

…

‘I feel dizzy.’

As things went on, it became increasingly difficult to read Petrania’s thoughts.
